Папа призывает к глобальному прекращению огня

Папа Франциск в воскресенье поддержал призыв Генерального секретаря Организации Объединенных Наций Антонио Гутерриша к глобальному прекращению огня, чтобы мир мог сосредоточиться на борьбе с пандемией коронавируса.

Выступая по случаю своего еженедельного благословения из папской библиотеки вместо площади Святого Петра из-за карантина в Италии, Фрэнсис особо упомянул обращение Гутерриса, сделанное в ходе виртуальной пресс-конференции в понедельник.

В Библиотеке Апостольского дворца Папа сказал, что он присоединяется ко всем тем, кто сделал этот призыв, и пригласил всех "последовать его примеру, прекратив все формы военных действий, поощряя создание коридоров для гуманитарной помощи, открытости для дипломатии и внимание тем, кто оказался в уязвимом положении".

Единство и Солидарность

"Пусть наша совместная борьба с пандемией заставит всех признать огромную необходимость укрепления братских и сестринских связей как членов одной человеческой семьи", - сказал Папа.

"В частности, пусть это вдохновит на новое обязательство преодолеть соперничество между лидерами наций и вовлеченными сторонами. Конфликты не разрешаются путем войны".

Антагонизм и разногласия, подчеркнул Папа Франциск, "должны быть преодолены путем диалога и конструктивного поиска мира".

EU leaders call on Trump to include Ukraine in summit with Putin

European Union leaders have appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to defend their security interests at a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August over the war in Ukraine. EU leaders are doing their best to exert some influence over the summit that they have been sidelined from. It remains unclear whether even Ukraine will take part but EU leaders underlined that “the path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.” According to AP, Trump has said that he wants to see whether Putin is serious about ending the war now in its fourth year. In a statement on Tuesday 12 August, EU leaders said that they “welcome the efforts of President Trump towards ending Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.” The European Union will make a fresh attempt to rally Trump to Ukraine’s cause on Wednesday at virtual meetings convened by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump did not confirm whether he would take part, but he stated: “I’m going to get everybody’s ideas” before meeting with Putin.
